Human cardiac neural stimulation elicits conserved hemodynamic responses; extends canine data but case reports leave clinical neuromodulation open.
Does electrical stimulation of the human extrinsic and intrinsic cardiac nervous systems alter cardiodynamics in patients undergoing cardiac operations?
Electrical stimulation of specific human cardiac neural structures elicits distinct cardiodynamic responses, demonstrating functional similarities to the cardiac nervous systems of other mammals.
Murphy et al. (1992) studied this question.
